Default BT Patriot 1st impression

I just got back from the long drive to get my Patriot.
Ok was the wait and 2 1/2 hour drive one way worth it??

Answer: you bet it only took me one shot to fall in love with this bow
it is set up with cats whiskers but did not really need them I also had limb savers installed once again the bow really did not need them.
There is no hand shock or vibration at all.
I had the poundage backed off to 64lb and remeasured my draw length back to 28" very comfortable.
after the bow was set up with string loop, BoDoodle Pro Lite rest, my sights, the LS and cats whiskers it was time to put it through the crono 1st shot 279 2nd 280 3rd 279
The bow does not feel it is shooting that fast and the only noise was the "click" of my release.
My hunting buddy who went down with me commented to me that he should have waited and that it was a lot quiter than his Havotec.
I will finish the sighting in tomorrow and go shoot it indoor tomorrow night
I will also do a full report in a week after I have put it through its paces a little more and the inital love of the bow fades a little.
